Key result
Digitalization successfully converted congenital atrial flutter to a normal sinus rhythm at two days of age in a newborn with tetralogy of Fallot.
Digitalization can successfully convert congenital atrial flutter to normal sinus rhythm in infants with congenital heart malformations such as tetralogy of Fallot.
May inform neonatal arrhythmia management in complex CHD; leaves open need for controlled studies before broader adoption.
A case of congenital atrial flutter with tetralogy of Fallot is presented. Fetal tachycardia was detected three weeks prior to birth and digitalization converted the arrhythmia to a normal sinus rhythm at two days of age. The seven previously reported cases of congenital atrial flutter associated with congenitally malformed hearts are reviewed.
